Hearing my Body

We've all heard the saying that we have to "listen to our bodies" to decide if we are hungry, thirsty, in pain, during exercise,etc. I really think that I haven't been able to hear my body from all the junk food and diet coke I was putting into it.

For example. Yesterday I lashed out verbally at my daughter for no really good reason. Then while watching Parenthood I cried and cried. I heard my body saying "PMS". Before, these things happened so frequently that I could never really tell if I was getting TOM or not. Food can wreck havoc on your mood. It has forever for me.

I'm feeling more now that I am not numb to the food. I'm hearing and listening to my body.

About Me

I am a stay at home wife and mother to three beautiful girls. I was overweight all my life and lost over 100lbs in 2011. After I gave birth to my youngest daughter, I lost my father to cancer and managed to gain back all of that weight. I'm on a mission to lose it again. I have a degree in History with a focus on Early Modern Europe. In my spare time I like to watch movies, visit museums, and travel
